Tonight, was my regular class at my nearest venue, St Chad’s Parish Centre on Otley Road in Headingly, Leeds. This venue is good. It is a church hall with a stage and a very nice bar. The dancefloor is decent too. The venue can hold, for a class night, about 120 dancers. Any more and you struggle with space to move. Tonight was the busiest night in a while. Tonight there were about 70 dancers.
The lesson, tonight, was taught by the lovely James
Richardson and his demo Jessica Farrar. Tonight’s routine was good. I enjoyed
it. The moves are all easy to add to a lead's collection of moves. The best move
was the second one and even though it was a challenge everyone doing the class
got it. It was a good routine for the dancers that attended.
James Richardson was also tonight’s DJ. The music had some
of the regular tunes with a few different ones. There was a bit of a mix-up but
still much the same as last week. This week did have more tunes that excited me.
I would still like to hear some different tunes. Some current tunes and by that
I mean came out in the last year as well as the Ceroc classic tunes. Those are
the tunes that are from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s that get the dancefloor full. I
prefer the modern tunes but know that the better dancers get up to the classic
tunes.
This venue and class night is usually very much a beginner night. Tonight, however, was an improvement. The standard was more of an intermediate standard. There was also an improvement in the number of dancers with it being around 70. We had more women than men this week.
Overall there was an improvement in the amount that
attended and the standard of dancers. I love tonight’s routine. The music could
do with being refreshed. Should you come to this venue? Yes. It is a good venue
with a great teacher. Doors open at 7:30 pm with the beginners class at 7:45 pm
and the intermediate class at 9 pm.
